I told my husband to cover his lawn tractor because it might rain and the motor of the machine might get ruined but he said it wont damage its motor nor it will not be affected. The garage is already filled up with his other tools and machines and there is no room for John Deere inside. Even the small tool shop at the backyard is so small for this lawn tractor. By the way it took husband to cut the grass at the yard 4x than ordinary trimming because the grass was 2 ft. tall in that area before we moved in.
So it rained not because I wish for it because the temperature in the island is becoming like Arizona and Nevada. Who would like to suffer heatstroke? Nobody.
This kind of heat wave never happened in this island. Only just few days ago... it did. It was so hot!
Supposedly the temperature here should be cooler than below 20 degrees centigrade. It should be just like the cooler temperature in Baguio City or Hong Kong at least.
Know why?
Have you seen the inside part of your house , the wall and inside the wall is the insulation of whatever fiber, polyfil, plastic, and whatever available insulation the contractor had filled in the gap between the sidings see how thick the wall of your house just to keep the house insulated to protect the inhabitants from the cold season.
All housing facility, houses, apartments, condominiums, all the buildings in British Columbia are protected with thick insulation.
With high temperature over 25 degrees centigrade without any fan or air conditioning unit will turn your house into an instant oven. Just the heat from the sun, just the sunshine will keep you toasted inside the house.
Global warming is evidently felt through out the island of Vancouver and some people are cranky that it's raining furiously in their area. How bad the rainfall in your location to be cranky?
Alaska had experienced earthquake at magnitude 8.0 yesterday.
How far Alaska from the island?
Alaska is located at the upper part north of British Columbia.
Through long driving it could take 4 to 5 days to get there. If you are over-speeding the highways from Cache Creek to Prince George it will take only 3 1/2 days or 4 days long driving without the need to sleep to get to the destination.
Maybe just an hour by plane from Vancouver mainland to Juneau.
Like it's only one hour flight from Vancouver main to Hawaii.
And you wonder why it takes 14 to 15 hours by plane from Vancouver to Philippines?
Curios to touch it and look at this it's almost like the fabric that I bought before. I forgot the name of that fabric. Is it poplin? Embossed artsy texture and it's good to touch. Parang kiping. Then all of a sudden I crave for gabi or taro for a viand. You know the taro plants with heart shaped leaves? Hmm... Taro leaves with coconut cream as in pinangat.
According to wiki, hosta plant is edible. Animals used to eat the leaves and flowers of hosta species. Maybe great for animals but not for humans.
O sinong may gusto ng suso? What a big snail. I was busy taking pictures at the garden when my daughter Tamara joined me in shooting photos for the day. She aimed her 3DS lens at the snail to capture more photographs.
I was afraid to touch the snail. I can only touch it with the snail inside its shell because I know that the creature is a bit slimy. Look at her, my daughter ... she was smiling while she let the snail crawls gently, slowly unto her palm.
Then I laid the snail to rest at the leaves of this wonderful plant. It was a beautiful picture to see and remember. What a wonderful moment of life just right in time.
